Newbie finally understands what it takes to be in the Top 100!
After perusing some of the Top 100 lenses I now understand what it takes to be a "great lensmaster." I thought some lenses were quite good and others, well let's just not say! I now realize that according to Squidoo and some Squidooers that a "good" lens involves lots of links to items for sell where you make a commission, lots of pictures, lots of links to other lenses and web sites. But no real content. You don't have to write anything at all. Content is not what Squidoo is about. It's all about links. How many links can you put into one lens. Well, here's my attempt at rising to the "TOP!" But first a bit of content.......
If you like this lens, please favorite it and give it 5 stars. Don't forget to join my fan club. Thank you.

My Motive
and then the rest is ads!
Not add content? I have to add content. Is this bad of me? By actually adding content it shows that there is a real person behind the lens. A person with intelligence, ideas, real creativity or in some cases not. But just to fill a lens with ads for this, that, and the other without any real answers, remarks, comments on the "subject" and call it a great lens. Well, it's beyond me. On the other hand, most are lenses about Squidoo. And yet, I have added another Squidoo lens about Squidoo! Is there life after Squidoo?
At least let me fully explain my venture here. Help I've fallen and can't get up! Stuck at the bottom of the list. Hoping and praying that someone will venture through and give me a 5 star rating and favorite the lens. Or better yet, actually click on a link and purchase something.
Negative? Who's being negative? I only speak the truth. Why click on a link and allow someone to make a commission on something that I can just go to the web site and purchase on my own. Not caring that the small commission doesn't actually come out of my pocket. God forbid we actually do something to help a fellow Squidooer. That would be human or humane, depending on your outlook.
So here's my Top 100 lens on no particular subject. After all, it's all about the content...I mean links.

- While I don't think your point is still true - I'm sure most lenses in the top 100 today don't fit your profile, I do think this is a great lens - blessed by a squidangel.

- Hi Donna,
Great lens and an interesting viewpoint. Ratings seems to be a mix of a few factors. I like to focus on content since I feel that knowledge is the most valuable thing that you can offer.
Thanks for sharing your unique insight :)
